My 06 GT after some changes





This shot shows how the tires protrude while still being flush. I love it.



The front coil spring.



The drop in the front. Only 1" but looks lower with the taller tire.



The rear wheel at a close up.



A complete side shot. The rear still sits high but trust me, when compared to stock it is definitely lower.













They are a staggered set. 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in the front. Tires up front are 255/45/18 and the rear is 275/45/18. The tires are Nitto 555.



Ford Racing Springs.

I have since tuned it from 87 to 93 and installed 4.10 gears and the C&L Racer intake. Wicked now (to me since I know some of you guys are pushing twice my HP haha):

Also installed Hawk Street Pads Front and Rear. Stocks on a dime now. The combo of tire and drop REALLY changed the handling. Feels like a completely different car.

The rear still has some room to settle with some more driving. The springs have been on less than 24 hours.

Looks awesome!

I want roughly the same setup, (already have the 'P' springs) but with black RTRs & a slightly wider tire out back.

Thanks! I love the wheels more in person. I guess they're supposed to be the SVE drifts but anyway, I love them. The rear has since started to settle so it looks even better. I just put it all on 2 days ago.

Yeah, the springs will settle some more and I think it'll look perfect with the 19's.

Two things.

The rear settled a bit more. I don't think it ill go down much more without prolonged weight in the back.

Second, I replaced the "GT" emblems with 'Autobot' badges. Couldn't help it.

The car looks great. I ordered the AMR wheels in the 19" variety. They will be at the house Thursday and on the car 20 minutes after they get here! I like the Autobot badges as well.

Very nice! And if you want a pony center cap the 03-04 OE Mach 1 caps fit AM wheels perfect.

Appreciate that! My buddy has a Mach 1 that he just replaced the wheels on! Maybe he will come off those center caps, I doubt it though! LOL There is always Ebay!

Thanks for the pics, they look sweet!!! I'm looking to get them too by with 18x9 in the front & 19x9.5 in the rear. Thanks for the pics of the wheels against the fenders, was wondering what they'd look like... and what I see I definitely like!
